#MedalOfHonor Monday! 🇺🇸🇺🇸 William R. Prom would go on to become a Lance Corporal in the Marines and a Medal of Honor recipient.
Prom may have been a hero, but he was also just an American boy who dreamed of being a professional baseball player. Or, if that didn’t work out, perhaps he could be a police officer. He put these dreams on hold when he signed up for the Marines late in 1967, just as his best friend was preparing to go to college.

Prom soon wrote his family from basic training, trying to ease their concerns. “Don’t worry about anything,” he wrote in 1968. “It’s a whole lot of fun down here. Just like Boy Scout camp.”
Presumably, it got a lot tougher once he went overseas.

“I’m now a full-time gunner,” he wrote in October 1968. “I carry a M-60 and a .45 . . . . I haven’t been anywhere near civilization since I got here.”
He would serve in combat for only a few months before his final action.

I believe Epstein is referring implicitly to the “Stigler Commission” of 1959-1961.
This comes from a phone conversation around 2004.
This comes from a phone conversation around 2004.
In a telephone conversation around 2004, he somehow was already well aware of the 1996 Boskin Commission and Harvard Economics department burying our work on Gauge Theory in economics called “Geometric Marginalism”. That seemed pretty weird at the time.
With the benefit of hindsight and scrutiny, I now understand that he was connected to AT LEAST two of my colleagues from my time as an Economist in the @HarvardEcon department and @nber. To say nothing of the fact that he was connected to AT LEAST two more of colleagues from my time as an math graduate student in the @HarvardMath department. He was evidently in the background of *everywhere* I was over three and a half decades from 1985-2019. It’s astounding.
I believe from memory what he means is the following:
In the 1950s inflation was not yet the tool of policy that it became after the “Price Statistics Review Committee” around 1960, and the indexing of Social Security to CPI in the mid 1970s. It was a simple gauge.
After that time, it became a quiet tool. And a weapon. You could use it to transfer not billions…but trillions. Why? Because a GIANT amount of all U.S. Federal receipts are indexed.
He thought it was funny that we expected our work to be heard given that trillions were being stolen.
I hope that there is a transcript of this conversation as well as the gravity phone calls about GU. If so, it will likely point back to Litauer and Rosovsky, Jorgenson and Summers.

So to sum it up: he is not wrong.
I think what I said to him is that after the 1950s, inflation became a modern tool/weapon rather than a measurement starting with the Stigler Commisson. I explained my view that the @BLS_gov is a quiet version of the @federalreserve. An insanely powerful “Statistics” organization where economists actually implement policy by simply chosing how to compute economic numbers.
Numbers that just so happen to automatically transfer trillions and touch every aspect of our lives.
He already knew a lot of the Boskin/GaugeTheory story from Harvard. Less about Stigler if I remember correctly.
I’d love to ask Larry about all this now.

I’ve been researching BTQ deeply after today’s earnings call.
At $754M, the market still thinks it’s “another quantum stock” like RGTI, QBTS, QUBT or IONQ.
It isn’t.
BTQ isn’t trying to build a quantum computer.
BTQ is building the revenue-generating infrastructure the world NEEDS because quantum computers are coming.
Huge difference. And massively misunderstood..

Think of Palantir’s architecture:
•Ontology = unify the world’s data + security
•Foundry = operational workflows
•AIP = AI agents acting on real systems
BTQ is building the post-quantum version:
•QSSN → ontology for digital money (secure mint/burn/transfer)
•QCIM → secure enclave hardware (crypto-agile PQC + AI chip architecture)
•QPerfect/MIMIQ → neutral-atom quantum OS + emulation
This is the PLTR framework applied to the quantum era.

Why now?
Because we are heading toward Q-Day — the moment quantum computers can break classical cryptography.
NIST already deprecated <112-bit crypto by 2030.
ECDSA (Bitcoin’s signature scheme) is on the clock.
NSA sets full deprecation by 2035.
@howardlutnick: “PQC is mandatory. Every financial system must migrate.”
Only one public company is positioned to deliver PQC at scale: BTQ.

A Rhodes scholar took a job at a Historically Black University, only to find that its president was running a "criminal enterprise" stealing federal funds, he said in a lawsuit. The college retaliated by firing his PhDs and falsely blaming Trump.
The vice provost, 3 professors, and director of HR have all made similar allegations about the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. One calls it a "private looting opportunity," where bribes were paid, and illiterate students were milked for student loans.
Are HBCUs any different from UCSD, where we recently learned a large portion of students were doing math at a middle school level?
Professors say the Maryland HBCU graduated "students" who didn't even attend class, and looked the other way at plagiarism, to sustain the fiction.

This looks like a ZOA-ending criminal investigation just WAITING to explode.
Last I checked, acts of war, terrorism, murder, espionage and treason don’t have statutes of limitations in America.

🧠 QATC & Consciousness
Why the Brain Isn’t a 10–40 FPS Camera, It’s a Resonance Engine
Modern neuroscience often frames consciousness as a sequence of “moments,” suggesting the mind updates reality anywhere between 10 and 40 times per second.
It’s a neat metaphor, but deeply incomplete.
If consciousness were literally “10–40 fps,” everything with frequencies above 40 Hz would vanish from perception:
•light (~10¹⁴ Hz)
•sound (~20–20,000 Hz)
•touch and vibration
•emotional micro-shifts
•harmonic timing
•creative flashes
Yet we experience all of it seamlessly.
And this is where QATC reframes the entire discussion.

And this is where QATC reframes the entire discussion.
1. The Mind Doesn’t Sample, It Resonates
Tononi’s Integrated Information Theory tries to quantify the “amount” of consciousness, but QATC asks a different question:
What is the mechanism that binds information into experience?
In QATC, the mind isn’t a frame-by-frame processor,
it is a Resonance Engine.
It doesn’t “click.”
It locks onto patterns.
What we call a “moment” is not a frame, it’s a collapse event, where the brain synchronizes multiple frequencies into a coherent address:
Chaos → Alignment → Collapse → Experience
This explains why:
•we perceive high-frequency light continuously
•we hear sound waves without gaps
•we feel rhythm and timing in music
•we can react faster than conscious thought
•creativity emerges from nowhere
•flow states dissolve the sense of time
The mind isn’t updating the world like a camera.
It’s matching the world’s frequencies with its own.

2. Gamma Bursts Aren’t Frames, They’re Harmonic Locks
Gamma oscillations (30–90 Hz) are often misinterpreted as “moments of consciousness.”
But viewed through QATC, gamma isn’t a frame rate.
It’s a binding frequency, the speed at which the system synchronizes distributed information into a unified state.
Consciousness emerges not because it updates fast,
but because it locks frequencies into coherence.
Tononi saw integration.
QATC adds resonance.
This is a major distinction.
